Munakata Shiko (1903-1975) is considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of the 20th century.

This vol. is the first dual language (English & Japanese) pub. to present Munakata's works in all media & genres -- woodcuts, watercolors, calligraphy, oil paintings, & ceramics. This collection of 350+ works shows the extraordinary range of styles & techniques Munakata used throughout his career. Also included are essays about his life as a woodcut print artist, his calligraphy, the literary sources that inspired many of his prints, as well as a lengthy biography that draws on many of Munakata's own writings.
